What you can automate

What does the WANotifier Make integration let you automate?

The WANotifier Make integration links your WANotifier account to Make, a tool where you build a scenario (an automation made of modules, one brick per step). WANotifier brings four actions: it stores contacts and sends WhatsApp messages. It has no trigger of its own, so another app or a schedule starts the scenario.

Order confirmations on WhatsApp. When your online store records a sale, Send a template message fires a transactional notification you prepared in WANotifier, filled with the buyer's details. The customer gets the confirmation on the channel they actually read.

A contact list that stays clean. A clinic takes bookings through a web form. Each submission goes through Create or update a contact, so a returning patient is updated instead of duplicated, and your WhatsApp audience matches what the form collected.

Quick replies to people already talking to you. When a support tool flags a question from a customer who wrote in over WhatsApp, Send a session message answers inside the 24-hour conversation window and reaches the customer directly in that thread.

What Make does not do here: nothing in WANotifier can start a scenario, since the app lists no trigger. For anything beyond the three dedicated actions, Make an API call reaches the rest of the WANotifier API. The official doc also warns it is AI-generated from the vendor's material, so check critical details with WANotifier.

Connect

How do you connect WANotifier to Make?

  1. 01

    Get your API key

    In WANotifier, open Automations in the left sidebar, then Integrations. Click Manage under API Integration, go to the API Keys tab and copy the value in My API Key.

  2. 02

    Add a WANotifier module

    In your Make scenario, add any WANotifier module and click Create a connection. A connection is your WANotifier account linked to Make once, then reused by every WANotifier module you add later.

  3. 03

    Paste the key and save

    Give the connection a clear label in Connection name if you like, for example the brand it sends for. Paste the API key you copied and confirm. The module is now ready to fill.

First scenario

Build your first scenario with WANotifier

GoalWhen a new lead arrives in another app, Make saves it in WANotifier and sends a WhatsApp template.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    From the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the +. Pick the app where your leads land first, such as your form tool, and choose its module for new entries.

  2. 02

    Save the contact

    Click the + on the right of that first module and add Create or update a contact. Link your WANotifier connection, then map the lead's details from the first module into its fields.

  3. 03

    Send the template

    Add Send a template message after the contact module. Choose the transactional notification you set up in WANotifier and map the contact data from the previous step.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once and submit a test lead with your own number. Open each module's bubble to read the bundle (one item passed along, here one lead) and confirm the message reached your phone.

  5. 05

    Schedule and switch on

    Set the schedule on the first module; a new scenario checks every 15 minutes by default. Then switch the scenario on. Each module run on a bundle counts as one operation on your plan.

Modules

What can WANotifier do in Make?

WANotifier gives you 4 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

WANotifier1

Create or update a contact

Action

In Make“Create or update a contact in WANotifier.”

Keeps your WANotifier audience in step with the tools that collect people, adding someone new or refreshing a person already on file in a single module.

When to use it
right after a form, a checkout or a CRM entry, before any message goes out, so the recipient exists in WANotifier.
Watch out
every later WhatsApp message goes to whatever you map here, so test with your own details first.
WANotifier2

Make an API call

Action

In Make“Perform an arbitrary authorized call to the WANotifier API.”

Opens the whole WANotifier API from your scenario, reusing the same connection, when the three ready-made actions do not cover the job you need done.

When to use it
you found an endpoint in the WANotifier API documentation that no dedicated module handles.
Watch out
you build the request yourself, so keep the vendor's API reference open and test with Run once before switching on.
WANotifier3

Send a session message

Action

In Make“Send a WhatsApp message during an active 24-hour conversation window.”

Lets you reply on WhatsApp in the flow of an ongoing chat, as long as the customer's 24-hour conversation window is still open.

When to use it
a customer just wrote to you and a scenario routes a personal answer or a status update back to them.
Watch out
once the window has closed, switch to Send a template message instead.
WANotifier4

Send a template message

Action

In Make“Send message template from a pre-configured transactional notification.”

Pushes a WhatsApp message built from a transactional notification you already configured in WANotifier and aimed at the contact your scenario hands it.

When to use it
order confirmations, appointment reminders or shipping alerts sent to people who have not written to you recently.
Watch out
the notification has to exist in WANotifier before the module can pick it.

FAQ

WANotifier and Make: common questions

01Is the WANotifier Make integration free?
Yes, on the Make side. WANotifier is a standard app, so it is available from the Free plan. That plan allows 2 active scenarios, runs them at most every 15 minutes, and caps each run at 5 minutes, with files up to 5 MB and 512 MB of data transfer. Paid plans (Core, Pro, Teams and Enterprise) lower the interval to 1 minute and remove the cap on active scenarios. You still need your own WANotifier account, whose pricing is set by WANotifier, not Make.
02What do you need to connect WANotifier to Make?
An active WANotifier account and its API key. You find the key in WANotifier under Automations, then Integrations, then Manage under API Integration, on the API Keys tab. In Make, add any WANotifier module, click Create a connection, optionally name it, and paste the key. That single connection then serves all 4 modules, so you only do this once per WANotifier account. Since none of the modules carries an instant tag, there is no webhook to create along the way.
03Can a WANotifier scenario start on its own in Make?
No. WANotifier has no trigger module in Make, so it cannot start a scenario by itself. You open the flow with another app instead, for example a form, a shop or a CRM module that reacts to a new entry, then add WANotifier actions after it. Another route is to rely on the scenario schedule alone, which runs every 15 minutes by default and down to 1 minute on paid plans, while WANotifier stays in the action steps.
04What if a WANotifier module is missing in Make?
Use Make an API call. It sends any authorized request to the WANotifier API with the connection you already have, so an endpoint without a dedicated module is still within reach. You write the request from the vendor's API reference and test it with Run once. Keep in mind that the official Make doc for this app is AI-generated from WANotifier's material, so confirm important details directly with WANotifier. The Make troubleshooting guide helps when a request fails.
05Should you use Make or n8n for WANotifier?
It depends on the tool your team already works in. On Make, WANotifier gives you 4 actions: contact upsert, template message, session message and a generic API call, with no trigger, and it runs from the Free plan. Many apps also have an n8n node, so check whether one exists for WANotifier and what it covers before deciding. The n8n vs Make comparison linked above sets out the general differences between the two platforms without favoring either.
